She assured that almost all the comments she received were “for the better”, few were negative and that she had not had any bad experiences since she became famous.

His work in Santa Fe and his plans for the future

Catherine He is realizing a great dream but, for this reason, he has put part of his life on hold, especially that linked to his profession. Established for several weeks in Buenos Aires, the pediatrician He revealed how he did his job at a Santa Fe hospital.

“In Santa Fe what is happening, and more than anything with pediatrics, is that charges are not being issued. In other words, you work for years and years as a single-payer and you have no rights, no holidays, no sick leave, or anything else. I mean, you basically can’t get sick. Anyway, I love where I work,” she said.

And she explained what she did when they confirmed she was one of those selected to join the Big Brother: “I talked to my boss and told her this happened. She’s the only one you can tell. And she told me: ‘You have to go and make your dream come true. This is for you‘.

The truth is that Cata did not go unnoticed at work, as she says, she wore heels, had that extroverted character that characterizes her and amused her patients.

Although her boss supported Catalina, since the confinement of the most famous house, He was worried about what might happen once he left the program. But those fears or doubts were put aside as soon as he was able to set foot in the hospital corridors again.

“When I left home and went to visit Santa Fe, The patients knew me, they asked for photos, even the mothers, the nurses, the doctors, the colleagues, everyone. They all created a WhatsApp group. In the doctors’ office they pasted the logo of Big Brother. They even put it in the background of all the computers,” she noted proudly.

And he added: “My boss has been telling me this since I started Big Brotherthe atmosphere of the hospital has changed, everyone is happy, they enter the room and ask me how I am. The truth is that it made me super happy because I didn’t imagine so much love from the hospital. I think I was seen at home, wondering if I could come back, if they would reject me, and I found out otherwise.”

Cata is passionate about her profession and, even if she is putting it aside a little for now, she will do so in the future I would like to work on a program that talks about pediatrics or medicine.

“While what I enjoy most about entertainment journalism, I would also like to dabble a little in medicine. And I wouldn’t rule out doing both in the future,” she said.

Catalina left her home in Santa Fe, where part of her family lives, and, after leaving her Big Brother She settled in the house of her cousin Rocío, who helps her with everything.

The fact is that Cata gets up very early and can be constantly seen in different television programs or streaming.

“It’s chaos basically because she gets up to work, I get up to go to a show. We have a house full of clothes they send me, makeup, a lot of things.and since I don’t have time, she helps me a lot,” he acknowledged.

And he added: “The truth is that I will thank my cousin for practically everything because I returned from the gala (of Big Brother) at one in the morning and He has already prepared my looks for the next day, prepared food for me, gets up and gives me food. “He’s taking care of me again and that makes me feel very down, because I come in very tired, very stressed.”

Cata continues to maintain a bond with her former reality show colleagues and said that although she didn’t expect it, as she didn’t maintain much of a relationship with them inside the house, made a great friendship with Alan, Joel and with Denise.

“We see each other outside more than inside the house. Big Brother. Because there sometimes one could be in the pool, another in the room and here we see each other all the time. Also, We are very jealous of each other, we don’t like to see other people. I don’t know how to explain it, it was like a family,” he said, laughing.

“We get along very well and that’s fantastic. Even though living together has been very hard, we are out together almost all day but in a different way and we get along very well and accompany each other and everyone who goes out is all there for what they want need”, he added…

Regarding her relationship with men, the former participant assured that she has not been with anyone after her participation in the reality show and that, for the moment, she is thinking more about getting back into the game than meeting people.

Even though he dared to confess that celebrities and footballers have written to him, the truth is that men don’t get very close to him, perhaps for fear of being filmed by their cell phone camera and that his image will go viral online.

Another benefit of Cata’s sudden fame is that many brands have reached out to her to offer swaps for clothes, makeup, and other things.

“I’m grateful because I wear the clothes they send me, but you have to take the time to make a good story that looks good and works for them too. And that’s a little overwhelming, because we’re not influencers“We are normal people who walk into a house and find it difficult,” he said.

“We all talk about it… it’s hard for us to make the video, make it look good, edit it, have this, that and that, and make it look nice and neat for a clothing brand or makeup brand or whatever. It brings together a lot of people to offer you many things,” he said.

“The problem of continuously shooting video is complicated because you don’t have time to do everything,” he pointed out.

The strangest thing they offered the pediatrician was the famous one iPhone15: “As soon as I left the house they offered it to me and this caught my attention because it was a lot. I didn’t even imagine that something like this could happen, it seemed impossible to me. “It was really nice.”
